MySQL Optimization Dillema

Aside December 5, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

In response to this post, I have compiled some charts showing the memory usage of my VPS – specifically relating to MySQL, to determine whether or not I should not use InnoDB. Note that, this site is running on an InnoDB schema and so there would be additional migration steps to reap the benefits of disabling this feature. Check out the figures Continue reading MySQL Optimization Dillema →

Aside May 24, 2013 Mike Leave a comment

Well I succeeded in naming a blog post with only acronyms.

This fun little device allows HDMI output from your android phone (think screen sharing). I picked one up from Ebay for about 7 dollars including HDMI cable. Quite a cool concept, however, in practice – not so much. Continue reading MHL USB OTG HDMI →

Jupiter: Through the Telescope

Aside October 7, 2012 Mike 1 Comment

A 100% crop of Jupiter taken with a Canon Powershot A95 mounted on a Newtonian style telescope.

If you are thinking about buying a telescope, please manage your expectations. I have a 5″ Newtonian Reflector scope which I picked up used for about $150. The image quality you can expect is marginal at best. Notice the bands on Jupiter? They are barely present. The storm is not visible whatsoever at this magnification. If you expect to see detail much greater than this, you could probably spend a bit more on a Dobsonian if you don’t mind the weight.

If astrophotography is your goal, I would recommend a refractor mounted to a Canon 60Da SLR body. This combo will run upwards of $2000 but should provide the best results.
